WIRED Editor Amit Katwala traveled far and wide for a hands-on look at the future of robotic artificial limbs. Watch as he puts a wearable set of arms inspired by traditional Japanese puppetry through the paces with Dr. Masahiko Inami University at the of Tokyo. Can Amit intuitively manipulate his newly added arms to pick up objects or write with a marker Then, we visit with Dani Clode and Tamar Makin at the University of Cambridge to get a grip on the technology behind a 3D-printed sixth digit designed to give you two working thumbs one one hand. Will these robotic augmentations be the path to superhuman performance Dani Clode Design / www. daniclodedesign. com / instagram: dani_clode The Plasticity Lab / www. plasticity-lab. com / plasticity-lab. bsky. social MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, part of Cambridge University: Instagram: mrccbu / cambridgeuniversity Director: Anna O'Donohue Director of Photography: Thomas Beswick; Giles Cahalane Editor: Matthew Colby; Anna O'Donohue Host: Amit Katwala Expert: Dani Clode; Masahiko Inami; Tamar Makin Line Producer: Joseph Buscemi Associate Producer: Paul Gulyas Production Manager: Alexandra Dawson Herren Production Coordinator: Ericka Gourgues-Lutran Assistant Camera: Tokiomi (Toki) Tsuta Sound Mixer: Skirmantas (Spider) Ivanauskas; Michael Panayiotis Production Assistant: Grace O'Connor Post Production Supervisor: Christian Olguin Post Production Coordinator: Rachel Kim Supervising Editor: Eduardo Araujo Assistant Editor: Justin Symonds Still haven’t

Weird to finally see Masamune Shirow's syncro protectors IRL. Granted, precision remote-arm manipulation has been around for decades now, but this is very much like Shirow's landmate arm control as first drawn in his Appleseed manga.

Funnily this makes that six-finger piano scene in Gattaca a distinct possibility. Imagine how many new pieces of piano music can now be composed or performed now that pianist will have access to six instead of just five fingers.

I’ve been through dozens of altcoins, but $XAI33 feels different. The team is active, the utility is real, and the growth is organic. It’s not just another meme it’s something stronger. Watching this one closely

$XAI33 is becoming a household name faster than any project I’ve followed. With Elon behind it and AI utility involved, it checks all the boxes for me. Still early still time. I’m adding more every week

10: 45 when a human non robotic thumb bends we get folds/grooves and wrinkles on the skin which are important in overall functionality, which is something that robot thumb lacks currently

I don't get the arms. What's the point of somebody else controls them Why are there four instead of two Especially if the person controlling them can't really manipulate four either
reply

Plus- You can have three people working in one person space. The negative you need two other people to operate.
Why not replace the pinky with the thumb

reply

This is not really that impressive. It's literally just a remote controlled robot. It's not even close to having actual new limbs you control with your brain.

We should start a Tech-hanced Olympics. With the right funding, it would help llmake technological leaps like the world fair once did.
reply

The third thumb should be mirrored to push against some part of your body to give tactical feedback on how much pressure you're putting on it
reply

Y'all don't have free healthcare and you're promoting this unaffordable technology that only benefits those who can afford it
